Love Awakened by Love: The Liberating Ascent of Saint John of the Cross
Love Awakened by Love
The Liberating Ascent of Saint John of the Cross
Mark O'Keefe, OSB
A skilled moral theologian, Benedictine Father Mark OâKeefe leads God-seekers to focus attention on St. John of the Crossâs teaching in The Ascent of Mount Carmel: The essence of the spiritual journey is union with God through the practice of the virtues, especially faith, hope, and love. Itâs virtuous living that enables us to truly love God and be conformed to God in divine union.
For St. John, religious âexperiencesâ are not the essence of the spiritual journey, nor is asceticism for its own sake. Johnâs emphasis on the nada is to lead us to liberating emptinessâauthentic human freedomâthat equips us to be filled with the divine life. At the journeyâs summit, we find the God who is Love.
This book is an insightful companion to The Ascent of Mount Carmel. Ideal for personal and group study, Carmelite formation, college courses, and a must for every library.
